   Agricultural field of Biotechnology

Introduction :

Agriculture is the main source of economy or Bangladesh.We all know Bangladesh is an agricultural country.A large part of the people Bangladesh depends on agriculture for their livelihood if we calculated in percentage,it is about 80%. Along with the contributing to the country’s GDP, the sector’s role in macroeconomics such as employment generation, puberty alleviation, human resource development and food security.That’s why in this sector there are huge opportunity to transforming agriculture from traditional labour-based agriculture to technology -based agriculture by using agricultural biotechnology.  Moreover from my childhood I have lots of interest of learning about the process and methods of agriculture like preparation of soil,sowing,adding manure and fertilizers, irrigation,harvesting and storage. Thats the reasons I choose these individual topic agricultural biotechnology.

Current research and usage:

Coming into the 21st century we can see a decrease in the amount of cultivated land in contrast  to the ever-increasing population. Therefore,biotechnology is constantly new to deal with this huge amount of human food crisis in the world.therefore agricultural biotechnology is constantly and unveiling new research  and discoveries and trends to deal with the current huge food crisis in the world.

1.Intect resistance:Bacillus thuringienis used as an insecticide spray in organic farming.Genes for several Bt toxins have been introduced into many crops by GM.The bacterium bacillus thuringinesis (Bt) Produces a Group of proteins known as the BT toxin,which are toxic for certain insects but do not harm

beneficial insects on other animals.For example over 90% of the cotton planted in USA,India, China, Australia and South Africa are GM verities containing Bt toxin genes.Over the 20 years,it is is estimated that the application 450,000 tons of of insecticide has been avioided to use of Bt toxin genes in crops.

2.Gene  agriculture: “Genetic Goldmine allowing plants to live in extreme environment in the Atacama desert.

 The team of New York university conducted an analysis using phylogenomics to identify the genes whose protein sequences were adopted in the Atacama  species.  The study found a genetic goldmin and identified to 265 genes where protein sequence changes were selected by evolutionary forces across multiple Alacama species.

Interest in this application :

There are so many national and international companies, NGO Showing their interest in agricultural biotechnology.International companies like syngenta, AG,BASF,Corteva Agriscience,Biogen,Vertex pharmaceuticals,Samsung Biologies,celltrion,CSL,Novo Nordiskect and in Bangladeshi companies like DEBTCH,Square Agric-tech,Brac Biotechnology centeretc are Working for the development of nutrient value, the resistance of diseases etc.

Discovers of this applications:

 *Early examples of agricultural biotechnology include breeding animals and crops,and using microorganisms to make cheese,yoghurt, bread and wine.

 *In agricultural biotechnology the scientists are discovers in GMO crops were producing Bt crops, herbicide resistance crops, salinity tolerant crops, drought- tolerant crops, cotton,rice,wheat corn,soybean etc.

 *Using new invention technology like GPS technology,free size precision agriculture and robotic systems.

Advantage’s:

 1.Firstly, agricultural biotechnology increasing crop and food quality that’s mean it’s include and improved nutritional quality.

 2.Farmers cultivatemeaning many crops in their field in one time and this allows farmers to spend less of their time managing thier crops

 3.It’s improve food quality and help to remove hunger in our huge population of this world.

Limitaciones:

With so many advantages there are also some limitations in agricultural biotechnology like cloning may results is misuse of this techniques to produce genetic monsters.sometimes it also make more harmful insects, virus,bacteria and maybe produced. That's why it's a high chance as a result it may lose of biodiversity.

Future prospects:

In 21st century agricultural biotechnology offers producing higher crop yields,plants that are naturally protect from harmful  disease and insects, and possible more nutritious  and better tasting food also using artificial intelligence farmers,robots, and drones et.

Conclusion:

At present time, we are totally depends on agricultural biotechnology for our everyday life it's provid

es farmers with tools that can make production cheaper and more manageable. It’s also helps to remove hunger,property,and also Increase GD.  Moreover, scientists are now try to preparing and developing this process but in this process it needs to be more research and developments.
